Cookies and Passive Data Collection

In order to improve the Site, we use cookies when you are logged into the Site using your login ID and password. A cookie is a piece of data that is transferred to your browser by a Web server and can only be understood by the server that gave it to you. It functions as your computer’s identification token and enables Varitronics, LLC to personalize your experience when you are using the Site. If you reject the cookie, you may not be able to use certain features of the Site.

Most browsers are initially set to accept cookies. You can set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie, giving you the chance to decide whether to accept it. (For some Web pages that require an authorization, cookies are not optional. Users choosing not to accept cookies will probably not be able to access those pages.)

We may allow third parties to collect information about the users of our Site. Such third parties may collect Personal Information about your online activities over time and across different websites when you use our Site. We do not control these third parties, who may engage in practices that differ from those described in this Privacy Policy.

For example, the Site uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics may set cookies on your browser or mobile device or read cookies that are already there to collect information. Google Analytics may also receive information about you from apps you have downloaded that partner with Google. Google Analytics collects information such as how often you use the Site and how you use the Site. We use the information provided by Google Analytics to improve the Site and Service. For more information regarding how Google collects, uses and shares your information and how to opt out of certain uses please visit http://www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/.

While Varitronics, LLC uses cookies to enable you to use the Site, like most Internet services, we use log files, both on the client and server side. The data held in log files includes the Internet Protocol (IP) address of your computer, browser type, e-mail application, Internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit Web pages, computer platform type, date/time stamp, and user activity. Varitronics, LLC uses server log data to analyze trends, administer the Site, and improve service levels.

Users should be aware that other websites visited before entering Varitronics, LLC might place personally identifiable information within a User’s URL during a visit to their website, and Varitronics, LLC has no control over such websites. Accordingly, some of this information may be logged by a subsequent website that collects URL information.
